Normality Restored!!!!!!

Well thats it, the house is back to its regular run of the mill, everyday, hum drum

but quietly satisfying day in, day out life!!!!!

The girls went back to school today (would I sound completely awful if I said a tiny "yayyyyyy") I know, I know what kind of mom am I????????

The Christmas decorations are all down & packed away for another eleven months & Spring is most def on the way. Such a mild Winter this year, almost feels like Spring already.

Sophie returned to Germany on Sunday morning, which I am not over the moon about, but hey its just for two weeks then her travelling days are over for the time being, at least until she finishes uni & thats a year & a half away. She has said though that there is no place like home & has learned to really appreciate Ireland especially after her last four months in Germany, no offense intended.

I began my exercise routine today, a good ol Tae Bo workout, which will def knock off cobwebs & i'm convinced some pounds as well. I used to do this work out a lot some years back but stopped, & i tell you i was pretty fit, so i'm determined to get back there again. Wishful thinking!!!!

Those are such pretty tulips Karen, fresh flowers always remind me of spring, which hopefully will be here soon - I just want to skip the last couple of Winter months! Good luck on your exercise regime too - I was quite good a few years ago but have totally lapsed and am so unfit once more. Would love to start getting fitter again but just too full of excuses and laziness!! You sound more motivated though so sure you will stick at it longer than I would. Love your new quilt too, how fresh and pretty it is. Thanks for your lovely comments by the way, so glad your girls liked their mirrors :) Jenny xx

Hi Karen, you certainly are launching into 2012 in a big way, crochet, quilts, cooking and......Tae Bo. I use to do that too, I wish I had the energy and inclination to do it now.Have a lovely week,Anne xx

Wow Karen, I think you are Superwoman!! I started exercising recently too and it does feel good. I think I have more energy. Love your quilt colors, it looks so sweet. Enjoy working on it. Love the tulips, spring right in your home, how nice!xoRobin❤

Hi Karen! I was all like holy macaroni she already finished a quilt in 2012?? Luckily, I went back and read in again and you STARTED a new quilt in 2012. That's much better :) Love the crochet too!!! Happy Tae Bo-ing!!!

I so glad I found your blog. I sure would like to give credit to a blog I hopped from. But like usual reading one blogs to reading another and you know how it goes. I love all your crocheting and got this wild idea - I haven't done granny squares in sometime. So off I went to my yarn stash. Guess What I found, so many unfinished projects that I had to blog about it on my blog. So keep up the good work Superwoman for I have to finish some before I can start a new in 2012.

Mmmmmm. patchwork, crochet, food and flowers, good combo. Tae Bo sounds ok too, so you can enjoy more cake!!!I am knitting some fingerless mitts...believe it or not, we have 13 deg today...last week 43deg. It is windy as, raining, thunder and lightening and my heater has stopped working, I am in jumper and woolie socks today.xx Sandi
